Chapter 10 - Don’t spend money lavishly

The warm sunlight shines through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the library and falls on Feng Nanshu's body, making her soft long hair and thick eyelashes seem to be coated with a layer of light gold. →

  She sat upright, straight, quiet and well-behaved.

  The slender fingers pinched a corner of the page and gently turned the page, and the smart eyes were full of purity.

  After reading this page, she pinched a piece of shrimp chips and put it in her mouth, making a crunching sound, and then continued to turn to the next page.

  After repeating this cycle several times, the bag containing the shrimp chips gradually became empty.

  It was not until Feng Nanshu attacked again that she realized this was the last piece, so she raised her head and drove towards Jiang Qin.

  "I don't want to eat anymore. You eat it all."

  Feng Nanshu's eyes flashed with joy. He picked up the last piece and put it in his mouth, then turned to the next page.

  Jiang Qin stared at her for a long time and felt that Feng Nanshu was not joking with him.

  She really agreed to lend the money.

  But why did he have such a sense of absurdity?

  Don't you need to write an IOU?

  If worst comes to worst, you should at least ask me what I do and when I will pay you back.

  Jiang Qin has the soul of a 38-year-old uncle. Logically, he should be able to see through Feng Nanshu's actions at a glance, as he is a pure creature like a high school student. However, he really can't understand Feng Nanshu's actions.

  But this is normal. He had never come into contact with a rich woman before his rebirth, so it's not surprising that he didn't understand.Maybevall rich women are like this.

  At 4:30 in the afternoon, Feng Nanshu suddenly put a bookmark into the book, stood up, smoothed down her skirt, and put the book back on the bookshelf.

  She leaves on time every day at this time, and it is obvious that the access control is very strict.

  But this time, before leaving, Feng Nanshu deliberately paused, then turned around and waved goodbye to Jiang Qin.

  Not that aloof...

  Jiang Qin watched her leave, then turned and looked out of the huge floor-to-ceiling window. Through the glass, he could clearly see the black Bentley parked downstairs.

  The driver, wearing white gloves, had already opened the car door and was waiting respectfully, while the bodyguard stood on the other side of the door with a serious and alert expression.

  Feng Nanshu walked out of the library quietly, got into the car without saying a word, and disappeared into the streets before dusk with the roar of the engine.

  "Huang Jinwu and Yan Ruyu are actually the same person."

  "..."

  "I feel a little hungry suddenly. Let's go home first."

  Jiang Qin picked up the book "Guide to Soft Rice" and put it back on the bookshelf. He rode his bike back to Hongrong Home on Beier Road and bought a tray of dumplings at the gate of the community.

  Today is Wednesday, a workday.

  Ms. Yuan Youqin is an employee of the government guesthouse, and Mr. Jiang Zhenghong works at the Health Bureau, so there should be no one at home now, so they can only buy some dumplings to make do.

  However, having eaten so much takeout and instant noodles in his previous life, he now eats both meat and vegetables and has no excessive requirements on the quality of food. →

  What's more, the taste of this bun shop is really good, with thin skin and big fillings. Ten years later, even a branch was opened.

  Jiang Qin picked up a bun from the plastic bag and took a bite. It was warm and moist, with the same original recipe and familiar taste.

  It's just that the weather is too hot now, and I start sweating after eating two.

  Jiang Qin tied the plastic bag and planned to eat it when he got home.

  At seven o'clock in the evening, the night came quietly.

  Mr. Jiang Zhenghong returned home carrying two plastic bags, changed his slippers, and sat down on the sofa.

  His forehead was covered with sweat and he was breathing unevenly. He hurriedly called for Jiang Qin to pour him some water.

  "Dad, where have you been? Why are you so tired?"

  "Your mom said the vegetables at the Nancun vegetable market are cheap, so I rode my bike for forty minutes and bought a bunch of them. They are all your favorite."

  Jiang Qin put the water cup in front of him: "Isn't it just a few cents cheaper? It's not worth the effort. Are our family so poor?"

  Jiang Zhenghong picked up the water and took a sip, then said with satisfaction: "This has nothing to do with being poor. You are going to college, and after college you will get married. There will be a lot of places to spend money in the future. Of course you should save where you can, and don't spend lavishly anymore!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, the door hinge creaked and the door was pushed open again.

  Ms. Yuan Youqin walked in carrying a shopping bag from the department store, looking extremely happy and humming a tune.

  Seeing this scene, the father and son couldn't help but look at each other.

  "What did you buy?"

  "Sister Xu from our unit said that the department store had a half-price promotion for wool coats, and I got a great bargain!"

  Jiang Zhenghong's eyes widened: "Wool coat? How much did you spend on it?"

  Ms. Yuan Youqin showed a smug expression: "The original price was 888, and now it's only 488."

  "Dad, is this what you mean by not spending money lavishly?" Jiang Qin was shocked.

  "You spendthrift woman, it's the hottest time of the year, why are you buying a woolen coat?"

  "What do you know? If it weren't the hottest time of the year, the price wouldn't have dropped!"

  Jiang Zhenghong displayed the majesty of the head of the family: "Jiang Qin has finished the college entrance examination, and when the results come out, we have to hold a wedding banquet and pay for his tuition. There are so many places to spend money."

  Yuan Youqin changed her shoes and walked into the living room: "Isn't this what I said? Also, did you go to the Nancun Vegetable Market when I asked you to?"

  "Of course I went. I calculated the price. The vegetables at the Nancun Vegetable Market are much cheaper than those at the salt shop downstairs. I saved more than twenty dollars this time."

  "So we saved three hundred and twenty today?"

  Jiang Zhenghong couldn't figure it out for a long time: "Where did the three hundred come from?"

  Ms. Yuan Youqin picked up the shopping bag in her hand: "I bought a coat with an original price of 888 for 488. Doesn't it save another three hundred here?"

  "Youqin, I have to say something to you. Your consumption concept is obviously wrong."

  "Jiang Zhenghong, I haven't bought you any clothes for so many years of marriage, just a wool coat, and you still blame me?"

  Jiang Qin watched happily from the side and felt that this long-lost family dispute was very heartwarming.

  My father is still in his prime and in good health. He doesn't have white hair at the age of 53, nor has he secretly driven a Didi car until he fainted in the car in order to earn a down payment.

  My mother is still young and loves beauty. If she has a little money, she will go shopping in the department store and she doesn't dare to buy even meat just to save money.

  This is definitely the happiest thing that has happened to him since his rebirth.

  However, he was so mean as to laugh while watching the show that he soon brought trouble upon himself, and was given the cold shoulder by the couple.

  "Jiang Qin, what are you laughing at? Do you also think that I shouldn't buy this wool coat?"

  Jiang Qin restrained the smile on his face: "Mom, I'm going to make a lot of money in the future. I will never let you buy outdated discounted clothes, and I will never let my dad go to the vegetable market so far away."

  Yuan Youqin's expression was slightly stunned, and his eyes instantly softened: "This is my good son, don't learn from your father, who is stingy all day long."

  "How can I be stingy..."

  Jiang Zhenghong's voice weakened a little, and he obviously lacked confidence. As a result, when he turned around, he found that his wife had opened the shopping bag, and the bag was filled with rolls of toilet paper.

  "What is this?"

  "It's the guesthouse's inventory. The boss said all of it needs to be replaced, so I took it back. Do you think you're the only one who knows how to be thrifty?"

  Yuan Youqin said unhappily and turned into the kitchen.

  Jiang Zhenghong was confused and thought to himself that this is a sting operation!
